More details on upcoming Papal Trips

As if Michael Rose reads my blog, suddenly Papa Ratzi Post links to two articles today on future pope visits:

Alcohol ban during forthcoming Pope visit to Poland

Alcohol will be banned from sale from all shops and bars in the Krakow and Warsaw regions during the first visit to Poland of Pope Benedict in late May.

Pope Benedict’s three day schedule, from may 25 to may 28 will include stops in Krakow, Warsaw, the site of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz and to the Shrine of the Black Madonna, Czestochowa.

A similar drinks ban was put in place during visits by Pope John Paul II to his homeland.

Pope expected to visit Quebec City in 2008

TORONTO and QUEBEC — Pope Benedict XVI is expected in 2008 to stand at the hallowed heart of Canadian history -- Quebec City's Plains of Abraham -- and celebrate mass for tens of thousands of Roman Catholics from around the world.

Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Archbishop of Quebec and primate of the Canadian Catholic Church, said he'll meet journalists tomorrow to tell them what he called good news from Rome.

... I guess Cardinal Ouellet didn't like the Pope's trip to Canada receiving a "low" probablity rating on our chart of upcoming Papal visits.
